Endocrine System Marie Černá
2
Regulatory systems Nervous system Endocrine system
3
Glands Endocrine – hormone-secreting organs, secrete their chemical messengers directly into body fluids (blood) Exocrine – enzyme/mucus-secreting organs, secrete their chemical messengers into ducts that convey the products to the appropriate locations
4
Endocrine glands 1.Pineal gland 2. Hypothalamus + Pituitary gland 3. Thyroid gland + Parathyroid glands 4.Thymus 5.Adrenal glands 6.Pancreas 7.Ovary (female) 8.Testis (male)
5
Feedback inhibition
10
Pineal gland hormonechemical class representative actions regulated by Melatoninamineinvolved in biological rhythms light/dark cycles
13
Anterior pituitary hormone peptide/protein representative actions regulated by Growth hormoneGH ↑ growth + metabolism hypothalamic h. ProlactinPRL ↑ milk production + secretion hypothalamic h. Thyroid-stimu- lating hormone TSH ↑ thyroid glandhypothalamic h. thyroxine Adrenocortico- tropic hormone ACTH ↑ adrenal cortex → glucocorticoids hypothalamic h. glucocorticoids Follicle-stimu- lating hormone FSH ↑ production of ova and sperm hypothalamic h. Luteinizing hormone LH ↑ ovaries and testes hypothalamic h.
15
Posterior pituitary hormone peptide representative actions regulated by Antidiuretic hormone ADH↑ retention of water by kidneys water/salt balance Oxytocin↑ contraction of uterus + mammary gland cells nervous system
16
Thyroid gland
17
Follicular cells – thyroxine Parafollicular c-cells - calcitonin
18
Thyroid gland hormone representative actions regulated by T 4 Thyroxine T 3 amine↑ metabolic processesTSH Calcitoninpeptide↓ blood calcium levelcalcium in blood
19
T 4 Tetraiodothyronine T 3 Triiodothyronine
20
Parathyroid glands Hormone representative actions regulated by Parathyroid hormone, PTH peptide↑ blood calcium level calcium in blood
21
Homeostasis: Blood calcium level
22
Thyroid feedback
23
Adrenal glands
24
Medulla: adrenalin (epinephrine) + noradrenalin (norepinephrine) Cortex: z. reticularis – DHA dehydroepiandrosterone z. fasciculata – cortisol (glucocorticoids) z. glomerulosa – aldosterone (mineralocorticoids)
25
Adrenal medulla Hormone representative actions regulated by adrenalin noradrenalin amine↑ blood glucose level ↑ metabolic activities vessel constriction nervous system
26
Catecholamines
27
Synthesis of catecholamines
28
Adrenal cortex hormone steroid representative actions regulated by Glucocorticoids↑ blood glucose levelACTH Mineralocorticoids↑ reabsorption of Na + + ↑ excretion of K + in kidneys kalium in blood
29
Steroids hormones
30
Sex hormones (steroids) Adrenal cortex TestesAndrogens OvariesEstrogens Progesterone
31
Sex hormones in female
32
Sex hormones in male
33
Pancreas
34
Pancreas Langerhans islets Alpha cells → glucagon Beta cells → insulin
35
Pancreas hormone peptide representative actions regulated by Insulin↓ blood glucose levelglucose in blood Glucagon↑ blood glucose levelglucose in blood
36
Circadian rhythms of blood glucose and insulin
38
Homeostasis: Blood glucose level ↑ blood glucose level Glucagon Glucocorticoids Catecholamines ↓ blood glucose level Insulin
39
Thymus
40
Thymus hormonechemical class representative actions regulated by Thymosinpeptidestimulates T lymphocytes
41
